First of all, the excellent news that all the quilts are home and safe with their new owners. The one which went walkabout was returned to the sender, marked as "not collected" - of course, the postie hadn't put a card through Lynda's door telling her there was anything to collect, so it's not surprising she didn't know to collect it. Sigh. Anyway, Ramona sent it again (bless you, Ramona!) and this time, it was delivered safely and promptly. Whew.
So, that's about it for this round. I think it went fairly smoothly - a minimum of chasing on my part, despite it running a bit in the summer when people are away - and as far as I know, everyone is at least reasonably happy with their resulting quilt. Any feedback, either positive or negative, is always welcome.
Many thanks to all who expressed an interest, those who followed along but didn't play, and of course, even more thanks to those who managed to find time to actually take part!
There will be another round; I am contemplating something a little different for the very next round (ALQS5), with a return to something very like round four, after that. But we'll see. I expect I'll make an announcement and formally open round 5 in October sometime, anticipating a deadline in early February. But you never know how things go, so, as they say, watch this space...

I can't wait! I had so much fun with this one - it was my first swap, my first time designing a quilt, and I was absolutely tickled to death with the quilt I got!!! So bring on ALQS5!!
Thanks so much for taking what I know must have been considerable time to organize this whole thing - you're the best!!
It was great participating, thank you so much for organising!
Glad she received it!
I keep "watching this space". Can't wait to become a part of ALQS5.
